Volley (volley.com) is a Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company building the next generation of knowledge technology for enterprise. Formed in 2015, our team hails from Goldman Sachs, Google, IBM Watson, the NSA, LinkedIn, Keystone Learning Systems, DARPA, and elsewhere. As companies, their employees, and their customers confront a “knowledge explosion” that never seems to end, current enterprise solutions are stuck in the dark ages. Inflexible, non-mobile, and non- intelligent, existing systems make it downright painful for employees and customers to find and learn mission-critical knowledge on their own terms. By contrast, Volley’s “personal knowledge hub” automatically ingests, integrates, and adds intelligence to unstructured content from existing eLearning, knowledge management, and content management systems to improve access, boost engagement, drive growth, and slash costs. Relying on proprietary advancements in statistical relational learning (SRL) and deep natural language understanding (NLU), Volley induces proprietary knowledge graphs of the organization and its content, driving powerful outcomes with little manual intervention. The first application of this technology is Volley for Enterprise, a customizable, AI-powered personal learning assistant that makes corporate learning, extended enterprise learning, and knowledge management more autonomous, intelligent, and effective than ever before. In addition to being 85% faster to integrate, Volley for Enterprise offers auto-generated content, knowledge-driven search, and adaptive learning delivery, all through its customizable mobile-first platform with a gamified user experience. Volley’s intelligence also helps leaders discover actionable business insights, from spotting hidden talent trends to better measuring ROI. The platform can be customized for personalized professional learning, corporate training, and even customer education or consumer literacy. Volley has disclosed $5.3 million in seed funding from such investors as Zuckerberg Ventures, TAL Group (NYSE: XRS), and Fathom Capital; strategic partners; and senior executives from Goldman Sachs, Apple, and Dropbox. Volley is headquartered in San Francisco, with satellite offices in New York and Austin.
